Hi everyone,
I've been using the site as a reference for a while now - it's been really helpful! I'm just about to move into my first house (needs work!!), and I need to fix a few things in the place I'm renting now. I can't find the answer to this question anywhere on the site so I thought I'd ask!
The wallpaper (painted over) in my little girls room has been split on the join for a while now. I should of fixed it but didn't, and she's now picked away quite a bit along one side of the join.
To fix it I thought I'd do the following:
- Cut away the damaged wallpaper leaving an open rectangle.
- Clean the wall area using sugar soap.
- Cut a piece of wallpaper to fit, and paint it.
- Glue the piece of painted wallpaper into the gap.
I don't expect my landlord not to notice, but figured if that's a good way to repair the damage it may not affect my deposit. Would this be the best way to fix this?
Thanks for any advice!!
